Short Bio
Prince, born Prince Rogers Nelson on June 7, 1958, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was a musical chameleon and the ultimate showman, known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, and wide vocal range. A virtuoso on multiple instruments, he could play an astonishing 27 different ones, making him the rock star equivalent of a Swiss Army knife.
Prince was a master of reinvention, seamlessly transitioning from funk to rock to R&B, all while wearing more purple than the entirety of ancient Rome. With hits like "Purple Rain" and "When Doves Cry," he crafted the soundtrack to countless lives, proving that size (of one's wardrobe) really does matter.
